Spiral galaxies mainly rotate either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on which way the "winding" started during the formation of the galaxy.
Some galaxies, however like NGC 4622 [See related link], can have opposing directions, however this is rare and probably the cause of a galactic interaction.
What else can I help you with?
What are examples of the milky way and Andromeda galaxies?
Spiral galaxies
What are facts about spiral galaxies?
milky way is a spiral galaxy spiral galaxies have younger stars in the arm and older stars in the middle
Do spiral galaxy describe the Milky Way?
The milky way is the barred spiral galaxies.
What kinds of galaxies are bright cores and spiral galaxies?
a spiral galaxy is what you call a "kind" or classificationfor example the milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy
What is one of the spiral galaxies?
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
What are the types or categories for galaxies?
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
What galaxy does the milkyway rotate around?
The Milky Way galaxy is in a local group of 30 or more galaxies of which M30 or Andromeda and the Milkyway are the most massive and they center to a point somewhere between each other. Each have their own satelite galaxies that rotate with the major spiral dominant galaxy
What are the three different types of Galaxy Which one do we live in?
The three main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, have a flat, rotating disk with arms that spiral outward, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded and featureless. Irregular galaxies lack a distinct shape and often result from gravitational interactions. We live in the Milky Way, which is classified as a barred spiral galaxy.
What is a different name for a galaxy?
There aren't really any other names for a galaxy that I can think of, but there are galaxy classifications, such as spiral galaxies (that can rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise), elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
How many galaxies are spiral?
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
How do you use spiral in a sentence?
Some galaxies are spiral, similar to the Milky Way.
